Frequently Asked
Questions
Is protein powder good for you?
Yes – protein powder is good for you, especially when helping you meet your daily protein goals. Our protein products are fantastic for muscle growth, recovery and your overall health and wellbeing.
How is protein powder made?
Usually, protein powder is created by extracting protein from natural sources such as milk (for whey), plants like soy, rice or peas, or eggs. Our protein products are typically made from milk.
Can a protein shake replace a meal?
While protein shakes can replace a meal sometimes, especially when on-the-go, we don’t recommend switching out your meals for protein shakes as they don’t hold the same nutrients as a balanced meal.
How much protein do I need to build muscle?
The general rule of thumb of building muscle is to have a protein intake of around 1.6-2.2 grams per kilogram of bodyweight; although this can vary based on age and activity level etc.
Are protein powder supplements safe to use daily?
Yes. When used sensibly, protein powder is as safe as any whole food protein source. Protein powder is there to top up your intake when whole food sources [meat, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes] aren't enough to hit your daily targets. For most active men, that means 1.6-2.2g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day. For active women, the target is broadly similar: 1.4-2.0g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day.
Can you mix creatine with protein powder?
Yes, you can mix both of these together. Combining creatine and protein powder will give you the benefits of both without any negative side effects.
When is the best time to take protein powder?
This depends on what you need from the protein powder. If taken post-training: within 30-60 minutes of finishing a session, your muscles are primed to absorb nutrients and kickstart repair. A fast-absorbing protein shake here ticks the box perfectly. If taken morning time: after 7-8 hours without food, getting protein in early prevents your body from cannibalising muscle tissue - this is especially important on days you train fasted. If taken before bed: slow-digesting protein taken 30-40 minutes before sleep fuels muscle protein synthesis through the night.
